UPDATE
SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER(4)

An asylum seeker who is married to a British man is fighting for her life in hospital after an overdose just
days before she was due to be sent back to Nigeria. May Brown, a 19-year-old college student, fled to Britain from her home country three years ago after witnessing her father’s murder and being
subjected to intimate abuse.
She settled in Weymouth, Dorset, where she met her husband, Michael Brown, 12 months ago and the
couple married last December.
Mrs Brown, who was a games maker at last summer’s Olympics and has two university offers to study law, applied to stay in the UK but despite her marriage her application was rejected.
